- TO MAKE PIE:

- Preheat oven to 170°C
- Spray serving dishes or pie dish with olive oil spray.

- Start with lining the base with a layer of mashed potato, then add a layer of corned beef top with cheese sauce and repeat until all ingredients are used and tin is full.
- Fold the overhang of pastry up and bunch around the top to create a side for the pie. Brush pastry with melted butter and bake for 45-60 minutes until golden brown.
